25 85. The trade dress shown and described in Paragraphs 14-84 above
26 shall collectively be referred to as the HH Trade Dress.
27 86. As a result of HH’s widespread use and display of each of the HH
28 Trade Dress, (a) the public has come to recognize and identify products bearing
-26-
Case 2:18-cv-08218 Document 1 Filed 09/21/18 Page 28 of 82 Page ID #:28
1 any of the HH Trade Dress as emanating from HH, (b) the public recognizes
2 that products bearing any of the HH Trade Dress constitute high quality
3 products that conform to the specifications created by HH, and (c) each of the
4 HH Trade Dress has established strong secondary meaning and extensive
5 goodwill. In addition, the HH Trade Dress as a whole is distinctive and has
6 acquired secondary meaning, such that consumers will conclude that anyone
7 marketing the entire line of products bearing the HH Trade Dress is in fact HH,
8 or is sponsored by or affiliated with HH.
9 87. Each of the HH Trade Dress is non-functional. For each of the HH
10 Trade Dress, the design features embodied by the trade dress are not essential to
11 the function of the product, do not make the product cheaper or easier to
12 manufacture, and do not affect the quality of the product. The design of the
13 trade dress is not a competitive necessity for any products bearing an HH Trade
14 Dress. Similarly, the HH Trade Dress as a whole is non-functional.
15 88. Defendant has slavishly copied dozens of HH’s proprietary designs
16 in an attempt to benefit from the immense goodwill HH has created in the
17 marketplace. Defendant has copied HH’s patented designs as well as each of
18 the HH Trade Dress.
19 89. Moreover, Defendant has advertised photographs of HH products
20 and falsely claimed that such products are in fact Defendant’s own products,
21 when they are not. One such example is shown below from Defendant’s
22 advertising on its Instagram® page. In the post, Defendant falsely claims that
23 the HH products shown in the photograph are its own products. The photograph
24 clearly depicts an HH studio, as evidenced by the signage visible through the
25 window. Nevertheless, Defendant recites in the caption “how much do you love
26 [Olivya Stone’s] Hisa Lounge Chair?”

9 90. On August 9, 2018, HH wrote to Defendant and demanded that
10 Defendant stop infringing its patent and trade dress rights and stop falsely
11 advertising its products and passing off its products as authentic HH products.
12 91. Defendant wrote back on the same day, claiming that “[i]ntellectual
13 property law simply does not give furniture designers much of a leg to stand
14 on.” Defendant dared HH to file a lawsuit, stating: “you are more than welcome
15 to pursue further legal matters, however please anticipate a counter-suite [sic]
16 where you will be liable for our damages and expenses incurred curing [sic]
17 litigation.”
18 92. Defendant wrote to HH again on August 16, stating that it was not
19 convinced of HH’s design patent rights either because “[HH’s] design patents
20 seem to apply to the actual drawing, and not to the physical furniture built.”
21 93. HH is informed and believes, and based thereon alleges that
22 Defendant intended to blatantly copy HH’s proprietary designs, falsely advertise
23 HH’s products as its own, and pass off its goods as HH’s high-quality furniture
24 to misappropriate the immense goodwill that HH has spent enormous time,
25 effort, and expense to cultivate in the marketplace. Defendant’s use of HH’s
26 trade dress and photographs of HH’s products in commerce is likely to cause
27 confusion, cause mistake, and to deceive as to the affiliation, connection, or
28 association of Defendant and/or its products with HH, when there is none.
